Hazard elimination and safety on FM 3024, SH 359, SH 72, FM 81,and FM 534.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a Formula Grant of $145,793.28 to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) on May 7, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award funds hazard elimination and safety improvements at multiple rural intersection locations across Texas, specifically at five state and farm-to-market roads: FM 3024, SH 359, SH 72, FM 81, and FM 534. The project scope encompasses targeted roadway segments within 600–1,000 feet of key intersections and includes the installation of safety lighting at intersections and implementation of rural intersection improvement measures.

These safety enhancements align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's objective to support highway safety activities and infrastructure improvements on public roads. As the designated state transportation agency, TxDOT administered the project selection and implementation in accordance with federal-aid highway program requirements, which prioritize State DOT decision-making on project development within established funding categories and levels.
